“I think Matty is a deeply sincere person, who can, at different points, be misunderstood because of how much he enjoys a bit. If you don’t know him, if you don’t get him, because you’re not really tuned in to the work, you might assume a cynicism that is literally not there. That to me is the most exciting part of him and his work. That the façade of it can beg so many questions, but that the heart is still so obvious—that it’s this deep sincerity, and a longing for love, to love, to be loved.”
